If you’ve ever been to the Gulls Way Estate in Malibu, you would agree the views from the bluffs are unbeatable. Tucked away from the Pacific Coast Highway, this eleven-acre paradise once belonged to the late Dick Clarke. Now, the property, which boasts a front main house and guesthouse, serves as a venue, including hosting only four weddings a year.

Sara and Jared looked as though they jumped out of a storybook. Allowing the venue to speak for itself, the carefully thought-out accents of lush green and sophisticated ivories and whites highlighted the romantic nature of their special day.

Greeted with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, guests watched as Sara and Jared exchanged their vows under an ornate white floral chuppah. Once the glass was stomped, guests were treated passed champagne and wine, along with six tray passed hors d’oeuvres, including out Hamachi Ceviche served on a Purple Potato Chip with Ginger and Chive, and Ricotta Toast, topped with Marinated Strawberries, Clover Honey, and Micro Basil. Mediterranean Antipasti and Cheese Stations filled out the cocktail hour.

For dinner, guests began with a fresh Grilled Tenerelli Orchard Pears and Kale Salad, mixed with Watermelon Radish, Persian Cucumber, Creamy Burrata, and Pistachios, all tossed in a Citrus Vinaigrette. For entrees, guests were given a choice of a Soya & Honey Glazed Sea Bass, a Honey Roasted Chicken Breast, or Slow Braised Short Ribs, served with Charred Corn, Shitake Mushrooms and Chives. Dessert consisted of Bread Pudding and a Spiced Chocolate Cake. Finally, at the end of the night, guests walked away with a small takeaway consisting of Avocado Bruschetta and our Black Mission Fig Brie Melt.

And candles melted to a romantic glow and the music slowed down, our couple and final guests danced into the night, happy, smiling and completely in love.
